Sometime, we only want to hear three word from
the one we love
"I love you"

“Will you please stop that Eri…” said Rei slightly distracting with her action…
Erika turned her face to her and raises her eyebrow
“What?” asked her, she obviously show her dumb look at her
Rei sighed…she point her eyes at the one guy who was standing between the book shelf
Erika quickly looked away, her cheek blushed…she never thought Rei would be notices that
“Just say it to him then…I know he like you too...” said Rei again while taking a secret glance at Tegoshi who just entering the library…
Erika bit her lips
“I just like him Rei, not love him…you know, admirer or something like that…”replied her, she turned to her book and opened it
Rei smirked…
“Of course I did…but…you never know, one day like will turn out to be love…Tell me Eri, what’s the problem if you said I like you to him?”
asked her
She knew Erika have a little crush at Yamapi but she loved to act like nothing happen when Yamapi came closer
Erika just smile, her eyes caught something…there’s one girl coming toward him and said something like confession…and she clearly can see he just rejected her …
“Because of that…I’m leaving then Rei…I need to pick up Sakura at school…bye…” said her and she quickly leave the library
Rei shook her head….looks like we need to work on them too…
“Work on what?” asked Tegoshi who suddenly sit beside her
“Oh, you….herm, I’m talking about those two…” said Rei
Tegoshi turned to Yamapi who already smile at him and moves toward them
“Ahh..I see…” replied him with a smile
“Hey…Urm, where’s Eri?” asked Yamapi as he take a same seat where Erika just sat a few minutes ago
“She’s leaving already…Pi? Why bother to ask, you guys are neighbors right?” Rei asked him
Yamapi shrugged his shoulder….
“I know! Something might be happen between you two huh?” this time Tegoshi asked him
Yamapi smile
“Sort of … okay then, I’m leaving too…bye guys…”
When Yamapi leave, Tegoshi turned his face to his girlfriend
“We have up with something then….who’s in??” asked him playfully
Rei grinned
“Me!”
Then both of them let out a small laugh to each other …

“Nee-chan! Just drop me here…I want to go Yuki’s house…”said Sakura with a grinned
“Eh? Then why bother asking me pick you up? You can go straight to Yuki’s house right?” asked Erika confused
Sakura shook her head

Erika stopped her car and waited till Sakura get out from the car

Erika locked the door quickly, she dropped on the floor and sighed in relief…
“Ahh, baka Eri…why you like this? It’s just Yamapi okay…you don’t love him..do you?”
She smacked her forehead and sighed again

Yamapi shrugged his shoulder
“It’s fun…” replied him coolly
Erika sighed…He always use to answer that…
“Whatever then…I shouldn’t ask this ….” She said and she move to the door but Yamapi called her suddenly
“Because I like you Eri…that’s why…” said him slowly but she still can hear him

Erika put her head on the table…ahhhh, I hate this feeling… she pouted, why he even saying like that! She turned her face and secretly watched her neighbor from her window…
“Boo!”
She screamed in surprised when Yamapi’s face suddenly popped out in front of her window and that’s make he laughed hysterically at her
“Very mature Pi, very mature…” said her slightly embarrassed with herself
“What are you doing? Stalking my room?” asked Yamapi still laughing

“Urm…I mean it Eri…” said Yamapi suddenly
“Nee-chann!!!!”
Erika’s eye wide opened, she looked at Yamapi…
“Sakura’s here! Go! Go! Just leave!” said her, she pushed Yamapi out from the window
“But..Eri..I

Erika just smile
“Nothing..what?”
“I’m going out for a while okay…don’t wait for me…”
“Okay, don’t be back late! Or I will tell mom and dad!”

“I...I said I like you...” replied Yamapi
Massu chuckled
“That’s not funny Masuda…” mumbled Yamapi slightly annoyed with his friend when he suddenly chuckled at him
“No…I didn’t mean to laugh at you…just…she might be mad because you said you like her…not love her...” explained Massu
“What? I like her…mean I love her…those two just a same thing right...” said Yamapi
Massu shook his head
“Nope…and that’s why she doesn’t want to accept that…”

“Stupid Yamapi!”
Erika jumped on her bed and kept cursing him…she sighed…why bother to say that if you don’t really mean it…thought her silently…
suddenly she remembered something, she turned to her wardrobe and take out one little box from it…
“Found it...” said her then she smile
The old bracelet handmade by little Yamapi
“What is this?” asked little Erika when she was in kindergarten
Little Yamapi smile brightly at her
“I made this…this is for you!” said him while handing the colorful bracelet to her
Little Erika raised her eyebrows
“Eee…so ugly” comment her honestly
Little Yamapi pouted
“I work so hard on it…how could you!” replied him unsatisfied
“But I need to be honest…this is so…
“Give it back to me…”cut little Yamapi with disappointed face
Little Erika hide that bracelet behind her back
“You gave it to me..so, don’t you dare to ask for it back…” said her
“Fine! Don’t you dare throw it!” warned him
Little Erika stuck out her tongue at him and ran away joined a group of little girl outside the class
Erika smile again….Yamapi no baka! I never throw it …
“Nee-chan!”
Sakura suddenly burst into her room with her panic face
“What?” asked her confused with her
“Yamapi niichan, he…he accident!”
“WHAT??!!”

Once she opened the door, she could see Yamapi standing in front of her and he don’t even hurt at all
“What?”
“Eri…
“SAKURA! YOU DEAD!”
A burst of laughter comes out from living room and Erika pouted….she got tricked by her own sister!

Erika bit her lips…
“Eri…listen…I have something to tell you…”
“What?” asked her
“I like you…”
“Will you please stop saying that?”
“No…I will keep saying that until you realized my real feeling for you…”
Erika sighed…she turned away…
“You don’t love me…” replied her slowly
But Yamapi still can hear that
“If you done with this…I’m leaving then…” said her again
“Why?”
Erika stopped…she looked at him
“Why? What do you mean by that?” asked her confused
“Why you don’t want to admit your true feeling…I know you like me…” said him
Erika shook her head
“I am not…
“Liar…”
"I am not…I never like you before…”said her , she ignore his word and continue with her word…
Yamapi just silent…her words already hurt him
“You never like me then?” asked him
Erika stares at him straight to his eyes…she shook her head again
“No…”
Yamapi bit his lips, he nodded slowly
“Okay…maybe I just…
“I never like you but I love you…and you…you just like me…you never think more than that…”cut her quickly
